Foshan is one of the birthplaces of Cantonese opera. The decoration upgrade plan for Zhongshan Park Station is centered around the historical development of Foshan Cantonese opera, with the Cantonese Opera House as the core. It incorporates design elements such as the architectural style of the Cantonese Opera House, the water sleeves in Cantonese opera, and cultural scenes to create a trendy atmosphere for visitors to capture memorable moments.
